Descriptiontext

TWIICE is a Swiss medical robotics company founded in 2016 by Tristan Vouga in Lausanne, Switzerland, that develops and is commercializing a lightweight lower-limb exoskeleton designed to enable individuals with lower-limb paralysis to stand, walk, and perform daily activities. The company is led by a small, founder-driven team of roughly eight people across offices in Renens (headquarters at Station R) and Geneva (via the Breakthrough Incubator), with Tristan Vouga serving as CEO and co-founder, Jemina Fasola as Head of Product and co-founder overseeing motion control, ergonomics, UX/UI and clinical/quality affairs, and Roland Loos as Chairman (former NewSat-ITC Global entrepreneur, EPFL-trained engineer, and active business angel). No external institutional investors or parent company are disclosed.

The company's underlying technology stacks robotics, embedded systems, and digital manufacturing with cognitive-neuroscience research originating in Tristan Vouga's brain-machine interface work at Duke University. Proprietary elements include what is described as the world's first cortically-controlled exoskeleton, a human motion control and ergonomics system, and an industrial-design-driven form factor optimized for agility and manufacturability (led by Helder Rodrigue, 17 years in medical-sector design). Embedded-systems engineering, including rehabilitation robotics and human-robot interface expertise, is led by Ruiliang Lin to convert the prototype into a market-ready device.

The business model is a direct hardware-sales motion: medical exoskeleton devices sold to healthcare providers, rehabilitation centers, and individual end users, with insurance coverage and reimbursement likely central to the commercial pathway. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. TWIICE pursues an event-driven go-to-market strategy, anchoring visibility on competitions such as Cybathlon — where it has medaled at four consecutive editions, placing second in 2020 with athlete Silke Pan — and the Global Innovation Challenge 2025, where it demonstrated real-world task completion alongside peer exoskeleton teams.
